Trossard to Besiktas: Advanced Talks in Progress

Besiktas has taken an important step in one of the most exciting files of the summer transfer window. According to information conveyed by British news site CaughtOffside, Arsenal's Belgian winger Leandro Trossard has nearly agreed personal terms with the black and white club. In the report signed by Mark Brus, it was emphasised that in line with information given by circles close to the transfer file, Trossard has largely determined the contract terms with Besiktas, and club-to-club negotiations will begin in the coming days.

According to CaughtOffside's expression, Trossard's priority in the transfer is now Besiktas. Although European clubs such as Atletico Madrid and Juventus were initially interested in the player, it was stated that these clubs have moved away from the file in recent weeks. The 31-year-old Belgian star is willing to come to Turkey and is in advanced contact with the black and white administration. The report also confirmed that Besiktas is preparing to offer Arsenal around 20 million euros for Trossard and that this figure is accurate. It was also conveyed that part of the transfer fee may be structured with bonuses and performance-related additional payments.

Trossard's contract at Arsenal will expire next summer; this situation creates the last opportunity for the London team to sell the Belgian star this summer. The Gunners management is expected to consider the offer of around 20 million euros valuable for a player with a contract in his final year. Trossard had transferred to Arsenal from Brighton for around 21 million pounds in 2023 and contributed valuably to the London team.

In the season he left behind, Trossard scored 9 goals and produced 10 assists for Arsenal across all competitions. This historic season, in which Mikel Arteta's team won the Premier League title and reached the Champions League final, was one of the peak periods of the Belgian star's career. Arsenal had lost the Champions League final to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties 4-3; they had crowned the season with a great league triumph. It is known that Trossard has entered the list of names who could be moved on within the framework of Mikel Arteta's plans to restructure the attacking line.

On the Besiktas side, it is emphasised that the Trossard transfer carries great importance. The Belgian star's profile as a two-footed, versatile attacking player is evaluated as ideal for the winger reinforcement the black and white club needs. At the same time, the experience he showed at the highest levels of Europe is seen as capable of providing the contribution Besiktas expects both in the domestic league and the European cup.

For the transfer to be completed, an agreement between the clubs needs to be reached. The positive course of personal talks with Trossard gives signals that the file will be concluded quickly. It was stated that the transfer will enter the final stage with club-to-club contacts in the coming days. Besiktas fans are waiting for one of the most exciting transfer files of recent weeks to be concluded.
